Tyler, Texas Bariatric Surgery for Weight Loss

Tyler Texas Bariatric Surgeon

Weight Loss Surgeons Tyler TX

Bariatric surgery seems like a scary prospect even if you are obese. It is true that once you get to a certain point you are told by your doctor you very likely may not live past 35.

 

A friend of mine who is only 24 was told this based on his weight gain and I really hope he loses weight and hopefully without going through a risky procedure like Tyler TX bariatric surgery.

Some types of bariatric surgeries involve removing a big part of your stomach. There can be some pretty severe complications that result in going through this weight loss surgery and I recommend you try everything you can before you decide to do this procedure.

There are some newer weight loss surgery techniques like lap band surgery that simply puts a band on part of your stomach without actually cutting anything away. This procedure seems a little safer than actually tearing part of your stomach out of your body.

Tyler TX Weight Loss

If I were in this very hard situation of trying to decide on a Tyler TX weight loss surgeon I would probably talk to a weight loss surgery consultant who has been through a procedure or two.

They have likely researched the topic for several days if not months and have some great advice to give you since they have been there and done that.

Tyler, Texas Bariatric Surgery for Weight Loss

August 5th, 2010

Despite following healthy diet plans religiously, exercising till you can’t move, and trying every other method for weight loss out there, you just can’t seem to lose weight.  As people gain more and more weight, their metabolism gets slower and slower, making them have to work much harder for the same results as slimmer people.  When it gets to the point where nothing you try works, and are clinically obese, it may be time to consult with a Tyler, Texas bariatric surgeon.

Bariatric surgery usually involves removing most of the stomach or bypassing it.  There are significant risks involved with this surgery, but many people obtain excellent results.  You must be absolutely sure about the procedure, however, because it is one that is for life.  Some risks involved include infections from surgery and later malnutrition if the patient is not following the diet plan to the letter.

Talk to a Tyler, Texas bariatric surgeon today if you are 80-100 pounds overweight and nothing you try seems to help.  You may be required to go through a period of counseling to be sure you understand what this surgery means to you, as well for the doctors to determine whether or not you have realistic expectations.  Bariatric surgery is not for everyone, particularly if you only have a few pounds to lose.  Exhaust all other methods for weight loss before pursuing this life changing procedure.  Above all, be diligent in your research to fully understand what bariatric surgery will mean for you.

Tyler, Texas Lap Band Surgery for Weight Loss

July 22nd, 2010

Tyler Texas Lap Band SurgeryThe Lap-Band surgical procedure for weight loss is a surprisingly simple yet revolutionary form of bariatric surgery designed for people who are at least 100 pounds overweight.  Rather than removing all except a small portion of the stomach or stapling like traditional bariatric surgery, the Lap-Band system works by placing a band around the stomach to control how much a patient is able to eat at one time, as well as helping the patient to stay fuller longer.  Furthermore, the Lap-Band is available in 2 sizes with a wide range of adjustable settings that allow for a patient and their doctor to achieve the perfect size for each unique situation.

Although the Lap-Band procedure is much less invasive than traditional bariatric surgery, it is still surgery and must be performed by a qualified Tyler, Texas lap band doctor.  The procedure is usually done laparoscopically, oftentimes on an outpatient basis, and generally takes only about one hour to complete.  There are much fewer risks involved with the Lap-Band surgery than with other methods for surgical weight loss, but there are still risks.  It is a good idea for patients to discuss these risks with their Tyler, Texas physician before deciding if the Lap-Band surgery for weight loss is the right course of action.

As effective as Lap-Band surgery for weight loss in Tyler, Texas is, one must still adhere to a set of special rules for diet in order to keep the weight off.  Any program will fail if not followed properly.

Weight Loss 100 pounds in 100 days

June 27th, 2010

Has anyone in Tyler Texas looked into this B Ki system that some people have claimed to lose 100 pounds in 100 days?

I initially thought the billboards and TV ads were about lap band or other bariatric weight loss surgery but the site claims it is a non-surgical weight loss strategy.

In Tyler Texas I have started to see an increase in advertising for weight loss surgery with little if no ads for non- surgical weight loss techniques.

This B Ki advertising has really peaked my interest because of how aggressive they have entered the Tyler TX area weight loss market.

They have 8 offices in the Dallas Fort Worth TX area and appear to be setting up permanently in Tyler.

If anyone in Tyler has any positive or negative feedback on this weight loss business please rate them and comment below.
